Rod,
Do I understand you correctly that I should get a 66Mc variant for my Asus
T2P4 because a 100Mc is unlikely to work? Or are the newer 100Mc chips also
coping OK with 66Mc FSB?
(I'm aware of the slight hardware hack required to make a T2P4 accept a K6-2.
What would be the fastest K6-2 running ok with a 66 FSB? And is this
potential upgrade worthwhile, with K6-2 going here for around 80-90$ or so?)
Thanks,
Wilko
